[intro]

[Verse 1]
I was just a little girl with ribboned dreams
Played in the dirt, climbed the trees
But the laughter turned sharp, it stung like rain
Whispers and giggles carved out my name

[Whispered]
“What's wrong with me?”

[Verse 2]
They threw words like stones, too heavy to bear
Told me I wasn’t pretty, like I wasn’t even there
Wasn't good in anything, couldn’t make a team
Didn’t have much, except a mind that could dream

[Whispered]
“Brains won’t save you.”
“You’ll never fit in.”
“Keep your head down. You’ll never win.”

[Pre-Chorus]
I tried to be what they wanted me to be
But I was fading like a ghost nobody could see

[Whispered]
"Do this. Do that. Be more. Be less."
"Smile through it all, don’t make a mess."

[Chorus]
But no, no more — I broke that mold
Took back my fire from the lies I was told
Rebelled in silence, rewrote my script
From a shattered girl to not giving a shit

[Whispered]
"This ain’t the end. You’re not what they said."
"Rise, girl, rise — lift your head."

[Verse 3]
I stopped scrolling just to feel seen
Deleted voices that weren’t for me
No more filters, no more shame
No more playing that losing game

[Whispered]
“Why should I care what the media says?”
“Or who gets likes in a stupid dress?”

[Bridge]
It took time, yeah, it took tears
Learning to listen beyond the fears
But one small truth grew inside my chest:
I deserve love. I deserve rest.

[Whispered]
"You’re more than their words, more than your past."
"You’re growing into something built to last."

[Final Chorus]
So now this used-to-be ugly duck
Flies high with courage, not giving a— (what)
No more shrinking, no more lies
I’m a self-secure swan with open skies

[Whispered]
"I’m not what they made me. I’m what I choose."
"I was never broken. Just waiting to bloom."

[Outro]
From dirt and scars, I made my name
Not their puppet, not their game
This is me — strong, raw, and real
A little girl who learned to heal

This is meeee

"And I love her now — and always will."
